Your Smart phone can
be a smart tool to use when building your plane.
Watch how we use one of the many apps
available on your mobile device (tablet or
phone) to help measure the sweep of control
surfaces on a home built aircraft under
construction.
What is the
most Challenging and Rewarding type of
build?
Building your
Aircraft from SCRATCH!
(plans-built)
A special
class of builders demand to build their aircraft
from "scratch" (otherwise known as plans
built). This means that they create the
parts from raw materials: aluminum sheet, steel
tubes, etc. instead of purchasing the parts from
a kit manufacturer.
The first step in the process is to
purchase a set of engineering plans which
details the dimensions of the parts to be
created. Several kit companies provide these
type of plans for this purpose. Then, the
fun begins! Tools, techniques, and
perseverance come next. Watch the sample
clip from the HomebuiltHELP video on Scratch Building
Basics to see if you could be part
of this elite group:
The bending brake used by Mark in the
Scratch Building video was also scratch built by
Mark! The plans for building this tool
will be shipped on CD (PDF format) with your
Scratch Building DVD order - only for orders
during the month of November.

This $39 Video is one
of our best selling titles and has changed the
lives of more than a few builders by opening
their eyes to what is possible - by
watching others succeeding at scratch building
their own
aircraft.
